I am glad that I am vegan. I have found so many new delicious foods. Quite often on my menu is vegan tofu stir fry. It’s simple and great and healthy thanks to tofu’s nutritional values. You can combine whatever vegetable you have in your fridge.

According to one Chinese legend, tofu was inventedwhen a cook decided to experiment by flavoring a batch of cooked soybeans with the compound nagari. Instead of flavored soybeans, he wound up with bean curd.

Earliest evidences of tofu in Chinese diets is a mural incised on a stone slab, where both Tofu and Soya milk appear. This stone is dated around 100 A.D. The first people to write about tofu were Chinese writers somewhere around 900 AD.

At first he tofu started spreading over Asia with the help of Buddhism. Around 750 A.D kento priests who went to China to study Buddhism brought Tofu to Japan.
